  - ### Method Detail

    - #### simplify

          public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                              throws XPathException

      Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.
      Specified by:
        `simplify` in class `Instruction`
      Parameters:
        `visitor` - an expression visitor
      Returns:
        the simplified expression
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

    - #### typeCheck

          public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                             ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                               throws XPathException

      Description copied from class: `Expression`
      Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

      This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

      This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

      If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

      Overrides:
        `typeCheck` in class `Expression`
      Parameters:
        `visitor` - an expression visitor
        `contextItemType` - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to `Type.ITEM_TYPE`
      Returns:
        the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

    - #### optimize

          public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                              throws XPathException

      Description copied from class: `Expression`
      Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

      This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

      Overrides:
        `optimize` in class `Expression`
      Parameters:
        `visitor` - an expression visitor
        `contextItemType` - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to `Type.ITEM_TYPE`
      Returns:
        the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

    - #### iterateSubExpressions

          public Iterator<Expression> iterateSubExpressions()

      Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.
      Overrides:
        `iterateSubExpressions` in class `Expression`
      Returns:
        an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

    - #### copy

          public Expression copy()

      Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
      Specified by:
        `copy` in class `Expression`
      Returns:
        the copy of the original expression

    - #### replaceSubExpression

          public boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,
                                     Expression replacement)

      Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression
      Overrides:
        `replaceSubExpression` in class `Expression`
      Parameters:
        `original` - the original subexpression
        `replacement` - the replacement subexpression
      Returns:
        true if the original subexpression is found

    - #### promoteInst

          protected void promoteInst(PromotionOffer offer)
                              throws XPathException

      Handle promotion offers, that is, non-local tree rewrites.
      Overrides:
        `promoteInst` in class `Instruction`
      Parameters:
        `offer` - The type of rewrite being offered
      Throws:
        `XPathException`

    - #### createsNewNodes

          public final boolean createsNewNodes()

      Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns true.
      Overrides:
        `createsNewNodes` in class `Instruction`
      Returns:
        true if the instruction creates new nodes (or if it can't be proved that it doesn't)

    - #### getInstructionNameCode

          public int getInstructionNameCode()

      Get the name of this instruction for diagnostic and tracing purposes
      Overrides:
        `getInstructionNameCode` in class `Instruction`
      Returns:
        a code identifying the instruction: typically but not always the fingerprint of a name in the XSLT namespace

    - #### processLeavingTail

          public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                                      throws XPathException

      Description copied from class: `Instruction`
      ProcessLeavingTail: called to do the real work of this instruction. This method must be implemented in each subclass. The results of the instruction are written to the current Receiver, which can be obtained via the Controller.
      Specified by:
        `processLeavingTail` in interface `TailCallReturner`
      Specified by:
        `processLeavingTail` in class `Instruction`
      Parameters:
        `context` - The dynamic context of the transformation, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
      Returns:
        null if the instruction has completed execution; or a TailCall indicating a function call or template call that is delegated to the caller, to be made after the stack has been unwound so as to save stack space.
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the instruction

    - #### getExpressionCompiler

          public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

      Return the compiler of the Doctype expression
      Overrides:
        `getExpressionCompiler` in class `Expression`
      Returns:
        the relevant ExpressionCompiler

    - #### explain

          public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)

      Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
      Specified by:
        `explain` in class `Expression`
      Parameters:
        `out` - the expression presenter used to display the structure
